Here, lemme try!

Isilme Turuphant
Show Content
Spoiler
Catgirl - Duh
Backstory - Izzy's is pretty complex, given it's built on ideas and characters generated from FFXI roleplay (Though not directly connected to it)
Benched Hero - Izzy is very much this in ARR. She's been focusing on her smithing, and hasn't picked up a blade in a while
Be All My Sins Remembered - Izzy still feels tremendous guilt about abandoning her duty and not going to Carteneau, especially knowing her father and Eva both apparently died there.
Beautiful All Along - Not so much now, but in 1.0 early on Izzy had a bit of this, refusing to believe she was attractive. She's blossomed quite a bit in 2.0, and is much more comfortable with herself, so this does not apply so much anymore. Mebbe with the contrast between her all mussed up from smithing, and her later after a shower Tongue
Bold Explorer - C'mon, there's just so much cool stuff out there!
Daddy's Girl - She's more or less built her life trying to live up to his example.
Dad The Veteran - Dad is also too stubborn to retire
Does Not Like Spam - Does Not Like Fish
The Gloves Come Off - Izzy has only hit this state once before, when Nel's life was threatened. The person in question ended up with his head in a burlap sack and his body cremated.
Good Is Not Nice - Izzy can be a jerk sometimes.
Hot Blooded - Yeaaaaah....
Berserk Button - Again, yeeeaaaaah...
Not A Morning Person - Like all people who aren't unnatural freaks.
Determinator - Isilme takes the stubbornness of both her parents and combines it, then amplifies it.
What The Hell, Hero? - Izzy returns to this. The orders her father arranged for her were blatantly favoritist. Many in the Maelstrom feel they were less dishonest than simply going AWOL, and they resent that she retained her rank. It will take her a bit to earn their respect back.
Lawful Good - Paladin, natch.
[spoiler]Mama Bear - She has a daughter, Ilyanna. Don't mess with Ilyanna.

Hirilonde Turuphant

Show Content
SpoilerDeterminator - It runs in the family
All Part Of The Job - Hirilonde has been soldiering along for decades now, without complaint.
Beware The Honest Ones
Lawful Good - Again, Paladin.
A Chat With Satan - Hirilonde has a few with a demon trying very hard to see a very old curse to its conclusion
Dudley Do-Right Stops to Help - Much of what Hiri does in ARR. His position is gone, his daughter doesn't remember his face, but he's still a Paladin, damnit!
Forgiven But Not Forgotten - Hirilonde is quick to forgive, but he never forgets. It's not that he holds a grudge, but don't mistake his easy forgiveness for naivete.
Papa Wolf - The single fastest way to have Hirilonde put aside his Paladin ethics and even-tempered nature is to threaten his family. Now, most of them can take care of themselves, and don't need his protection, but if you are posing an honest threat, then he will quietly and calmly set about separating you from whatever it is that makes you alive.
Humble Hero - He tries, anyway
Let's Get Dangerous
Living Legend - Hiri had a bit of this going before the Calamity wiped everyone's memory of him. Though there would still be some recollection of the deeds done
Nice To The Waiter
Older Than They Look - Hiri is nearly in his 50's by the time of the Calamity. He doesn't look it, aside from some grey in his hair.

This version of the character has a mix of old and new to him. Definitely different from his GW2 incarnation (who would have half of his tropes be completely different) This version of Amaare is the older original version. Much nicer, and a hell of a lot more fun. Though he pretty much is a bad guy. I'm a villain guy for the most part. So in my original version of him in WoW he was a villain by society's standards, he just often villanizes villains that people forgive him or look past what he does, especially in settings like Star Wars or Medieval Fantasy. A side note? Watch your daughters and your wife if she's pretty enough.
 
The Charmer - The part about Amaare that has always been there, from WoW to TOR to GW2, this is in his blood
.Ethical Hedonist Another mmo constant, this trope about him will be there ten years from now in whatever mmo I'm playing.
 Brains And Brawn - this  was something that got added to him in TOR mainly because this version has always been a big guy but not a very tall guy, but there was no way to increase muscle mass w/o going taller. What ended up happening was that I started to like the height so in FFXIV I'm going with it.
 Cultured Badass - Just can't do the dumb characters. This trait about him will never change no matter the mmo. He will always be smart and cultured, but the way he expresses his knowledge will vary. Here it will not be as obvious as he is more down to earth. He's a big guy who is quite good with his fists and a bow, and afterwards he will break out his songbook of songs he has written to serenade that beauty over there. (lies- its the same songs he used last week in Gridania for another beauty)
 Big Brother Instinct - Very protective of his friends, to the point where he would kill those who threaten them. He is also very protective of people in general. While far more Han Solo/Lando Calrissian than hero, he just won't stand for some things at all. Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire  Amaare is a bully predator. Bully Hunter
Nominal Hero - Point blank he can be a self serving greedy jerk, but he hides it well because he generally likes to help people, so they can lend him money later on, and well because the kidnapped lady was quite hot, and hot women being kidnapped need someone cool like him to rescue them. You are not as cool as him, so you do not get to rescue hot kidnapped woman. But you may watch.....you-may-watch. *looks at you and smiles*
Loveable Rogue - Absolutely, always with a smile on his face and quite the charmer.
Heroic Comedic Sociopath - By society's standards he a murderous thief and killer, but because he is doing it to Garleans, and other folk worse than him by far, well that's that's just dandy, what a heroic guy he is *rolls eyes*
Karmic Thief - Absolutely, he bullies, robs, privateers against, ambushes, cons, intimidates, shipwrecks, terrorizes, kills and pretty much any manner of wrongdoing against Garleans whenever he gets the chance. For him if you're Garlean you're a target - why? because Garleans make way too much noise, kill way too many people and make pretty women cry. 
 
Here are others that fit him well
Brilliant but Lazy - This version, absolutely
Rated M for Manly - Definitely for this version
Suspiciously Specific Denial - "I'm not a thief I'm a Treasure Hunter"
Silly Rabbit Cynicism is For Losers - I think this is me honestly influencing every version. Life sucks enough to have a cynical attitude about it all the time. In every version.
Perpetual Smiler - Another Amaare Margolis constant.
Lightning Bruiser *Brand new trope never used. Amaare has never been the best fighter in any mmo, this version due to being primarily a pugilist is different. Of course this is dependent on whether he gets up because he is quite lazy, lazy enough to cancel out how cool this trope can be.
Drunken Master - Because half the time he really is drunk or damn close to it
Its Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught
Smoking is Cool
STD Immunity

I don't have enough 'troper' experience to make any meaningful conection between tropes and my characters. Though I'm an artless hack, so it's likely I'm using a crapton of them.

But, if you know Ulanan or read the 100 questions I answered for her, then Added Alliterative Appeall is one of her major traits.
